Tom,

Is there any activity on the recent TPPD in/out boxes. There should be a hex stream. If your M100 hangs, what is the Last TPDD request?

If you don't get any activity at all then I suspect you have a bad cable. You need RX/TX/RTS/CTS and GND to be properly wired.

Kurt,
I was using the ROM-based TS-DOS and NDOS (through Rex). It just seems to hang and requires a reset of the M100 to get out. I have had this issue before, so I'm certain what the cause is.

    Tom,

    I've noticed that last night. I've got a fix but have not uploaded
    it yet. The files are stored in a folder called TPDD under the
    default internal directory. This is the same place that the DCIM
    (Pictures) folder is. But with the current version, even through
    the folder and files are there, they are not visible. I'll upload
    the fix tonight.

    If you have a file manager, browse to the TPDD folder and you
    should see the files.

    What response are you getting when you use TS-DOS? I'm using the
    RAM versions right now.

    It seems to be communicating (ie. I can successfully load and save
    .BX files from Rex). But I am not able to see them once I browse
    to them on Android. Also, when I load a .BX file I cannot get it
    to work, but something does make it into the Tandy. I haven't had
    any luck with TS-DOS or NDOS for some reason.

        I finally got mComm for Android buttoned up and ready for
        those interested in testing it.

        You will need an android phone and a cable to go from the
        phone to your Model-T. I use a micro USB to regular USB
        adapter such as this one.

        Then I plug in an FTDI USB to serial adapter like this one.

        Then I plug in a Null modem cross over adapter like this one.
        Cross over adapter <http://www.ebay.com/itm/280817525127>

        And finally, I attach a regular db9 to db 25 serial converter.
        Here is a USB to serial converter that has one.
        db9 to db25 <http://www.ebay.com/itm/261515248400>
        The above usb to serial adapter could be used in place of the
        FTDI adapter but I have not tested with that chipset yet.

        Most of you probably already have a cable that will work. It
        only requires RX/TX/GND/CTS/RTS signals.

        You will need to download the APK file to your Android device
        and install it with one of the APK installers that are found
        on Google play.

        Once installed, hook up the cable and press the "Start TPDD
        Service" button. The first time it will ask you for permission
        to attach to the serial port and you end up having to press
        the start button again. After that you are ready to go. Not
        much else to it visually other than the hex data streams for
        input and output.

        Let me know if you have issue with it. The download folder is
        below.
